I am enjoying my month off from Chemotherapy. Each day is a gift. Our children have been home from college adding that extra spark that makes life so meaningful. Stan and I have cleaned out a couple of closets at home and cleared out Clayton's library at the church. What a job! It is amazing how liberated you feel to see those boxes of unused items go out the door.
I am thankful for family and friends and to my God for His continual blessings. He has renewed his promises to me for this year. I have hope because I have HIM.
And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.
Genesis 17:7
May God's richest blessings rest on you today.
Your friend,
Janiver

The Scan
I had a PET scan last Wednesday and met with the Dr. on Friday.
She said there is nothing new. The two spots she thought were new cancers are not.
So we will continue Chemotherapy for now.
It still doesn't look like surgery is an option at the moment.
Thank you for your continued prayers. I am still believing for a miracle. My God IS able.

A Blessed Christmas
We want to take this time to wish you all a blessed Christmas. When I count my blessings, each of you are on that list. May God richly reward you with peace and joy during this season that we remember why He came.
And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,
And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior.
For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name.
And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation.
He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree.
He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away.
He hath helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy. Luke 1 : 46-54

Update on Me
The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!
Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah.
For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head.
He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him, even length of days for ever and ever.
Psalm 21:1 - 4
This was my scripture this week. I was so discouraged a few days ago and opened the Psalms for some much needed solace and I read this chapter first. I thank God for Joy in Strength and Blessings of Goodness.
I want to give honor to a wonderful man of God, Everett Kimmel, who went to be with Jesus yesterday. He stormed the beaches at Omaha on D-Day and God gave him 64 more years to serve Him. He was a blessing to our church while he was here. He gave the kids a hero to look up to. We'll miss you, Bro. Kimmel.
My PET scan is scheduled next Wednesday. The two weeks of Chemo before my break. Thank you all for your faithful prayers and friendship.
Much love,
Janiver

Thanksgiving Greetings
I'm praying a special blessing on all my friends this Thanksgiving Day. May you enjoy time with family and friends and remember the ONE who makes it all possible.
I played hooky from treatment this week...just couldn't face it. So I'm enjoying a few days with my kids without the burden of chemo junk.
I love all of you and am so thankful for your faithful friendship through this past year. I depend on your prayers and your support more than you may realize. It seems that when I face a particularly tough day, one of you will write or call and have just the right word of encouragement for me. That is the beauty of the network of prayer and the family of God.
Love and prayers,
Janiver

Muddy Jordan
These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. John 16:33
Naaman was told by the prophet to dip seven times in the muddy Jordan. He was not happy about that at all. But by his obedience he got his miracle. Sometimes I wonder why I have to go down 'seven' times in this muddy Jordan of chemotherapy, but this is the way that God has chosen. I will be obedient and rejoice when I am clear of this cancer.
Thank you for checking in on me and for your prayers,

That HE might be glorified
To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that HE MIGHT BE GLORIFIED.
Isaiah 61:3
Hello to all my friends and family. We are all doing pretty well. Looking forward to my chemo break in January, when my children will be out of school to help me enjoy it. God bless you all.
